We still have police? most of the ones I see are on tv making police "catch me a thief in a chopper" type program. You now the one where they chase two kids on a stolen push bike for hours with chopper coppers, armed response units, oh and a dog or two with big teeth.:nuts:

And then the presenter informs you they were handed a caution and a £30 fine :bang:

The people on those programs rarely get any sort of punishment whereas we throw the book at SAS Heros.

How do you know that this hero wasn't planning on using the firearm to commit a crime? Granted, it's unlikely but he was in possession of a firearm that he wasn't allowed to have.

I suggest you read about the case. He did not pack the gun which was a gift and a brain injury meant he forgot it was there. MPs think this is wrong too.

Funny how when a teenage thug who gets caught with a knife will barely get a slap on the wrist!!!

I agree, the "justice" system is screwed in the UK but this (and certainly this case) is a wholly different (and much bigger) debate!
